Chapter 598 Difficult to maintain
On October 4th of the third year of Tianxuan, the Mughal Empire invasion fleet arrived around Yizhen's territory and violently attacked Yizhen's territory for a full day and a half.
This one-and-a-half day battle made Yi Town Territory miserable. Although all the dead were prisoners of war, the one-and-a-half day battle had already caused more than 300,000 casualties in Yi Town Territory. Impact.
Fortunately, the territory of Yi Town still did not give up resistance, it just lost Sky Island, and the Sky Island Yizhen in the center of Sky Island has not yet fallen.
Of course, the Mughal Empire’s invasion fleet, as the number one aborigine force on the mainland, also has its limitations. For example, at night, even if the Mughal Empire’s invasion fleet has gained a huge advantage, it will still choose to strike a truce, even if it is the same day The results of the victory will start all over again the next day.
Each night is equivalent to giving the territory of Yi Town a little chance to breathe, such as rebuilding coastal defense weapons, such as redeploying defensive troops, etc.
In one and a half days of combat, all the prisoners who died in the battle were captured by the Yizhen Territory in September when it fought against other aboriginal forces and player forces. Although the regular army and residents of the Yizhen Territory were also injured, the casualty ratio was almost negligible. It is still possible to repair the defensive measures and coastal defense facilities destroyed during daytime operations overnight.
In fact, by the afternoon of October 4th, the territory of Yi Town could only be described as difficult to maintain. Although the attack for several days could be repaired again at night, it was after all the wharf outside Yidao Fisherman Village and Mingang Village. The coastal defense facilities such as the wharf on the outlying island, the wharf near the village on the outlying island, the shipyard on the outlying island, the north port of Jidao, and the south port of Jidao have all been destroyed several times.
Fortunately, after Zhao Pan’s cavalry corps slaughtered a wave of landing soldiers at Beigang of Jidao, the invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire still couldn’t let go of their psychological shadows, and the attack on Beigang of Jidao was somewhat powerless.
However, until October 4th, the Mughal Empire invasion fleet attacked the islands in the territory of Yizhen, and only suffered heavy losses in the North Port of Jidao, losing more than 80 warships and more than 50,000 soldiers.
Although soldiers were killed in battle in other battlefields, at least the number of warships lost was almost in single digits. I am afraid that the number of soldiers killed in battle was far lower than the number of prisoners of war lost in Yizhen Territory.
After all, the landing fighters of the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet were all brightly armored and sharply armed. Unlike the prisoners of war who were driven to the front line in the territory of Yi Town, they only issued long spears with wooden handles and iron tips.
On other battlefields, the most relaxed one is the Zhongdao battlefield. The Mughal Empire invasion fleet on the Zhongdao battlefield initially focused its attack on the vicinity of the sea fortress. Sylvia Oshen threatened that the third invasion fleet of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance would need to mobilize more than 200 warships to pose a threat to the sea fortress.
What's more, almost all the main naval forces of Yizhen Territory are resting in the sea fortress, and the total number of warships sent by the Mughal Empire invasion fleet to attack the sea fortress is only about 150.
The first attack of the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet almost lost 10 warships. Qu Mao just didn't allow Sylvia Ocean's main force to take part in the battle before launching the sea counterattack on October 5, but he didn't ask the main navy Teams do not fight back against enemies attacking their Naval Port.
Therefore, after the Mughal Empire invasion fleet lost 10 warships again in the second wave of attack, it immediately shifted its position and went to the northeast of Zhongdao where there was no pier to attack and carry out landing operations, but Zhongdao is not what it used to be. The construction of coastal defense facilities has not been relaxed because of the lack of a wharf.
In the first half-day of combat, the army's prisoners of war have been completely lost. The remaining 30,000 prisoners of war and nearly 50,000 prisoners of war who were lightly or seriously injured have also obtained the status of free citizens during the half-day battle, or accumulated military merits and transfers. As a regular army, and achieved advanced military merits, they all withdrew to the barracks to advance.
Starting from October 3rd, the army at the forefront is the soldiers who were urgently re-recruited from the surrendered troops to the free people. Compared with the prisoners of war, these soldiers have surrendered once, at least the frontline equipment is complete, and the defense is strong. Compared with the prisoner of war troops, it has been significantly improved, and its attack power has also been slightly enhanced. At least weapons will be distributed according to the occupation of the recruited arms, rather than the uniform and simple iron guns.
The ebb and flow, in fact, from October 3rd, the casualty rate in the territory of Yizhen began to decrease, while the casualty rate of soldiers in the invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire began to increase.
Beginning on October 4th, the difficulty of maintaining the territory of Yi Town has intensified significantly. By the afternoon, it has almost reached the state of left and right. Yi Island even sent a magic army to participate in the battle. The pier was not captured by the Mughal invasion fleet.
Fortunately, starting at 3:00 pm on October 4th, Sylvia Ocean was already busy on the various islands in the territory of Yi Town.
The main force of the Yizhen Territory Navy returned to the various military ports in the Yizhen Territory at around 4:00 am on October 2 in the third year of Tianxuan. During the daytime on October 2 and two days on October 3, the naval fighters were all in the military port or in the naval barracks Rest to replenish physical strength and restore mental state, while shore-based personnel are quickly repairing the damaged warships of the main force.
Starting at 3:00 pm on October 4th, Sylvia Ocean arranged for the naval heroes to recruit naval soldiers and prisoners of war, and at the same time let the naval heroes carry warships in their backpacks and deploy them on various islands.
After about a month of naval operations, Sylvia Ocean said that the navy captured thousands of warships, which is actually not an exaggeration at all.
Regardless of the unfavorable factors of naval soldiers and prisoners of war boarding ships and installing unmodified warships, the Yizhen Territory Navy blindly expands, and at least it can form a huge fleet consisting of more than 2,000 warships.
The navy’s dawn offensive on October 5 requested by Qu Mao was actually planned in this way. Sylvia Ocean was busy with the various islands, and this was the deployment.
The birdman system upgrades the task of attacking the territory of Yizhen and gives all forces temporary transmission props, which will inevitably bring more severe challenges to the territory of Yizhen. Therefore, the territory of Yizhen must race against time to end the war with the Mughal Empire invasion fleet. Fight, through this battle, usher in a precious respite for Yizhen's territory.
After struggling to maintain the battle on October 4th in the third year of Tianxuan, it may be very happy to break the game.
During the day, Qu Mao was almost in the lord's hut or on the east wall of Yi Town. Using a binoculars, Qu Mao stood on the east gate of Yi Town, and he could clearly see the scene of the offensive and defensive battle at the pier outside the fisherman's village. .
No matter how difficult the battle is, let’s continue until dawn on October 5th.
